mmand is set forth in general orders No. 75 (confidential) of June twenty-sixth, 1862; and I beg leave to congratulate the commanding General upon the signal fulfilment by our army of what was planned in that order of battle, so much so, that the order affords a very correct history of the battle.

Ferry was sealed. Lieutenant-Colonel Walker was directed to bring up his guns, and establish them in the position thus gained. This was done during the night by the indomitable resolution and energy of Colonel Walker and his adjutant, Lieutenant Chamberlayne, ably seconded by captains of batteries. Generals Branch and Gregg had also gained the position desired, and daybreak found them in rear of the enemy's line of defence. General Pender, with Thomas in support, moved his brigades to withral Pender had commenced his advance, when the enemy again opening, Pegram and Crenshaw were run forward to within four hundred yards, and quickly coming into battery, poured in a damaging fire. The enemy now displayed a white flag, and Lieutenant Chamberlayne was sent in to know if they had surrendered. Sharpsburg--By direction of General Jackson, I remained at.

Major Pegram's and Major McIntosh's battalions moved forward on the morning of the 1st with the divisions of Generals Heth and Pender, and were put in position for action on an eminence about one mile west of Gettysburg, from which they opened fire on the enemy with marked effect and finally driving them back out of range.

friends. His brigade was formed in line, two regiments on each side of the road, and, obeying my instructions to the letter, received the fire of the enemy at 70 paces before engaging themselves. Heavy reenforcements to the enemy were brought up at this time, and it seemed that a tremendous effort was being made to turn the fortunes of the battle. The volume of fire that, approaching, rolled along the line, was terrific. Seeing some troops of Wilcox's brigade, with the assistance of Lt. Chamberlayne and other members of my staff, they were rapidly formed, and being directed to cheer long and loudly moved again to the fight. This seemed to end the contest, and in less than five minutes all firing ceased and the enemy retired. In this battle the losses of Longstreet's division were about 2600 and in A. P. Hill's about 1700; total 4300. The Federal losses are not given separately, but were, doubtless, not very unequal. McCall was captured, riding into our lines by mistake, and

value and meaning. Quills for pens are assorted into qualities determined by the character of the barrel. They are plunged into heated sand to make the exterior skin peel off and the interior membrane shrivel up. This may be performed, however, by alternate soaking in water and drying before a charcoal fire. They are hardened by soaking in a hot solution of alum. The yellow color so much admired is conferred upon the quill by a dip into nitric acid. Iron pens are mentioned by Chamberlayne in 1685. The first metallic pens regularly introduced for sale were by Wise, about 1803. They were made in barrel form, being adapted to slip on a stick, and under the name of perpetual pen were industriously distributed throughout the stationers' shops of London. The prejudice was strong against them, and up to 1835 or thereabouts quills maintained their full sway, and much later among people of a conservative cast of mind and in the circumlocution offices here and abroad.

barrel. They are plunged into heated sand, to make the exterior skin peel off and the interior membrane shrivel up. This may be performed by alternate soaking in water and drying before a charcoal fire. They are hardened by soaking in a hot solution of alum. The yellow color is conferred by a quick dip into nitric acid. Bramah probably first suggested quill-nibs, and patented a machine for making them. These nibs were the precursors of the steel nibs. Iron pens were mentioned by Chamberlayne in 1685. Not like the iron pen of Job, which was a chisel or graver. See steel pen. The barrels of the quills were first slit longitudinally into halves; these were subdivided into blanks for nibs, and the latter were formed and slit in a third operation. See pen-maker.

n the map, for he remembered distinctly when the chimneys were built. General Lee, who evidently did not share the officer's confidence as to the locality, pleasantly remarked: was waiting for the guide to come up that we might ascertain from him, but I suppose we had as well go on. If you remember when the chimneys were built, this is not the place. The stone chimneys mentioned in this map were built before you were. Near Farmville he sat for some time on his horse near a section of Chamberlayne's battery, which, on the brow of the hill, was shelling the enemy, and gazed intently through his glasses at their movements. He was quite exposed. Receiving a report from a staff officer, General Lee gave him a message in reply, and as he started off said to him: You rode up on the wrong side of the hill and unnecessarily exposed yourself. Why did you not come up on the other side? The officer said he was ashamed to shelter himself when his commander was so exposed. General Lee rem

back, but that I advised them to surrender, and told Jake Friar, my adjutant, my intention to get out, if possible. I laid flat on my horse and galloped down my line to the left. I saw one of my companies get through just before I got there, but the cavalry and infantry, as I thought, but it proved to be dismounted cavalry (Chumberlayne's Division), came together. I rode rapidly back to my colors and ordered a surrender. Sic transit gloria mundi. We had fought our last battle. 'Twas Chamberlayne's Brigade of dismounted cavalry that I had been fighting in my front, and Pennington's Brigade of mounted cavalry in my rear. I cannot close without adding that when I ordered, in a loud tone, my regiment to surrender, several of Pennington's cavalry made a dash for my colors. That brave and glorious man, Hickok, my color sergeant, drew his pistol and began firing on them, asking: What did you say, Colonel Hutters? I repeated my order, but Hickok, dear fellow, had been shot down, and
